I don’t believe the spring table is accessible any longer, and I don’t think he’d like the price. There were 3 different variables (spring rates) depending on spec. slicktop, sunroof, auto trans. Most are discontinued. I just sold a set, new, and have researched them extensively. Additionally, the rear dampers are discontinued, and the fronts will cost $700+

A predictable outcome. I think the last time I checked for the JCWs for my R50, which was probably six or seven years ago, there were only two of the six part numbers available—one front, one rear, both wrong. I ended up going with Swifts.
